"grandmother!"
"I've found a treasure!"
Suddenly, the stalk of a stick darted out of the bushes beside him, clutching something in its hand.
This thing is quite big; you need two hands to hold it firmly.
Jia Zhangshi squinted and glanced at it, but it was too dark to see clearly.
It doesn't matter. Since my dear grandson says it's a treasure, then it must be a treasure.
So Jia Zhangshi grinned and ran towards Banggeng: "My dear grandson, quickly show Grandma what treasure you've picked up."
"Grandma, catch!"
After saying that, Bang Geng threw the object with both hands with great force, and it appeared in front of Jia Zhangshi in an arc.
"My God!"
This is no treasure at all, it's clearly a toad covered in bumps!
But by the time Jia Zhangshi saw the toad clearly, it was too late; the toad had landed squarely on Jia Zhangshi's face.
"Croak!"
The toad made a sound when it was thrown, and kicked its two feet hard in the patriarch's face, trying to escape.
Bang Geng wanted to chase after him when he saw this, but was stopped by Jia Zhangshi, who was feeling disgusted.
"Ugh!"
"My dear grandson, why are you grabbing this thing... ugh..."
"You can't eat this!"
Can't eat it?
Banggeng looked at the toad lying on the ground with a puzzled expression, and then pursed his lips in a helpless manner.
This thing is so fleshy, why can't we eat it?
He had just licked it a few times and didn't seem to notice anything wrong with it.
"Ugh~~~"
"Alright, alright, it's already dark, we need to hurry home."
After vomiting several times while leaning against a tree trunk, Jia Zhangshi finally pulled herself out of the woods with a stick.
When they arrived at the tricycle, Jia Zhangshi discovered that Chen Jun's bicycle was gone, meaning he had probably already caught Jin Chan and headed home.
"Hold on tight, Grandma will take you home now."
There were no streetlights on the way back, but Jia Zhangshi still made it back to Nanluoguxiang safely.
As soon as she turned into the alley, Jia Zhangshi sensed that something was wrong.
Why are there police officers in the alleyways?
Moreover, his third uncle, Yan Bugui, who had returned earlier than him, was standing at the gate of the courtyard talking about something.
Huh?
Something was stolen from the courtyard house?
Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to ride over to see what was going on.
But the next second, Yan Bugui's voice rose several pitches.
"Oh, speak of the devil and he appears! That's Jia Zhangshi!"
As soon as she said this, the two policemen at the door turned to look at her at the same time.
ah?
Jia Zhangshi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously turned the tricycle around.
Having prior experience in labor camps, her first reaction was to run away as fast as she could.
Regardless of what happened, Yan Bugui's words were definitely not nice, so if you sense something is wrong, just run.
"stop!"
The experienced police officer immediately saw through Jia Zhangshi's intentions and rushed towards the alley entrance in three steps.
As a result, before Jia Zhangshi could even turn the car around and run away, the policeman had already rushed up to them.
"Don't arrest me, I'm a good person, a good person!"
Realizing she couldn't escape, Jia Zhangshi raised her hands to cover her head, a habit she had developed while in the labor camp.
"A good person?"
The police officer scoffed, "Who's a good person who steals someone else's tricycle? Who's a good person who tries to run away when they see us?"
"A tricycle?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi suddenly became defiant, pointing at the tricycle under her backside and shouting, "Who stole someone else's tricycle? I clearly borrowed this tricycle!"
"Then why did the car owner call the police?" The police won't listen to just her explanation.
According to the investigation we just conducted, this tricycle was clearly bought by someone else, and all the neighbors in the courtyard can testify to that.
"He's out of his mind!"
Jia Zhangshi never expected that He Daqing and Cai Quanwu would turn around and call the police after she had only ridden the tricycle for a short while.
What's the meaning?
Don't you want a widow anymore?
"Get out of the car and come with me!"
The police forced Jia Zhangshi off the tricycle and then pushed it to the gate of the courtyard.
At this moment, He Daqing and Cai Quanwu also came out of the courtyard. Seeing that the tricycle had been found, they hurriedly went forward to check it.
"Oh dear, the car seat is flat!"
"The car is covered in mud, I'll make it look like it was just washed!"
Cai Quan looked at the tricycle in front of him with a heavy heart, feeling that something he usually cherished had been kicked around by someone.
"Cai Quanwu, what do you mean? You clearly agreed to lend me the tricycle, but then you went to report me to the authorities? Don't you want a widow anymore?"
The wicked Jia Zhangshi spoke first, trying to use the widow to shut Cai Quanwu up.
But she still underestimated the importance of the tricycle in Cai Quanwu's mind.
Given the choice between a widow and a tricycle, Cai Quanwu would definitely choose the tricycle, which was his livelihood.
Therefore, Cai Quanwu paid no attention to what Jia Zhangshi said about a widow and said directly to He Daqing, "Brother, I did not agree to lend the car. She must have stolen it herself."
“I understand, you cherish this tricycle more than anyone else.” He Daqing patted Cai Quanwu on the shoulder, then glanced at Jia Zhangshi and said to the policeman next to him, “Comrade, this tricycle is the one we lost. All the paperwork is still there. Our family is not familiar with their family, and we would never lend the tricycle to her, so Jia Zhangshi stole our bicycle.”
"Comrade, we hope this will be severely punished!"
Because Jia Zhangshi rode away with her tricycle without a word, He Daqing's plan to make a living was directly disrupted.
So even though the tricycle was found, He Daqing still wanted to teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson, otherwise there would definitely be a second time after this one.
"Hey, hey, He Daqing, don't bite people randomly! I only borrowed your tricycle, I didn't steal it!" Jia Zhangshi argued, her triangular eyes gleaming.
But He Daqing wasn't buying it at all, and snorted coldly: "Taking without asking is stealing!"
"Whether it's stealing a needle or stealing a tricycle, it's still theft!"
"Nonsense!"
Jia Zhangshi was getting anxious. She had only used the tricycle briefly, yet He Daqing was trying to extort a large sum of money from her.
“If I were stealing, why would I ride a tricycle home? Wouldn’t that be walking right into a trap?” Jia Zhangshi retorted.
"You were arrested by the police!" He Daqing didn't care what Jia Zhangshi said and said he would send her to the yamen for interrogation.
Only in this way can the theft of tricycles be completely eliminated.
"Comrade, please don't get agitated. I really just borrowed it."
"Cai Quanwu, Cai Quanwu, say something! Do you think I would dare ride a tricycle without your permission?"
If Cai Quanwu simply nods in agreement, the reason he had just come up with will be valid, and today's trouble can be avoided.
Unfortunately, Cai Quan was completely preoccupied with the tricycle and couldn't listen to Jia Zhangshi's voice.
